Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 3

The Heightsnew Villa in Belbanks was home to the Taylor family. The Rolls-Royce stopped on the red carpet leading to the door of the building. Silas came out to welcome his sister and opened the car door for her. 

“Welcome back, princess!”

Alyssa’s delicate face looked even more stunning under the dazzling lights. When she got in the car, she had changed from sneakers to heels. Therefore, she now looked elegant, like a queen.

“How have you guys been, Silas?”

“Great. It’s even better now that you’re back. Did you enjoy the fireworks? My birthday gift for you attracted the whole city’s attention. It was even trending on social media!” Silas’ handsome face was filled with excitement.

“Yes. I saw it. The people were guessing if it was a tycoon trying to romance his wife, and some even said you were corny. Congratulations on unlocking a new achievement, Silas.” Alyssa smiled and clapped her hands.

Silas ignored her sarcasm and excitedly hugged her.

“Lyse, you won’t leave us again, right?”

“No. He divorced me, so why would I leave now?” Alyssa patted her brother’s back to comfort him. She sighed. “I embarrassed you guys. For three years, I thought I could make him fall in love with me if I persisted and put in all my effort. In the end, I failed so badly.”

Heaven knew how bitter she felt, but she endured it all. She swore that she would never shed another tear for Jasper once she stepped out of the Becketts’ house. It wasn’t worth it.

“That bastard Jasper Beckett! How dare he bully my sister! I will start a thorough investigation of the Beckett Group tomorrow. Then, I’ll have Axel assassinate that jerk.”

When Jonah heard that, he muttered an amen.

“Don’t mess around, Silas. You’re a public prosecutor.” Alyssa laughed wryly. “Can’t you be like Jonah? Learn to be more peaceful?”

“Bullshit. You don’t know the bad things he did before becoming the peaceful guy he is now.”

Silas pulled his tie in anger and said, “Anyway, I won’t just let this matter pass. He can bully me, but not my sister. Since he dares to do so, he will always be on my radar!”

Alyssa took Jonah’s arm on the left and Silas’ on the right. The three of them happily walked into the house that Alyssa dearly missed.

When the chairman of KS Group, Winston Taylor, heard that his daughter was returning, the happiness on his usually stern face was obvious. He was so delighted that he paced around his study.

“Dad! I’m back!”

Alyssa came to the study with her brothers. In contrast to the usually gentle and virtuous attitude she showed to the Becketts, she directly laid on the sofa and kicked away her heels.

Jonah also sat down and took his sister’s slender and fair legs, putting them on his own and giving her a massage.

“Where are your manners? Did you go somewhere to become a doctor with Doctors Without Borders again? Were you in some backwater village?” Winston deliberately maintained a straight face. He couldn’t help but feel like they were fated to clash. He would miss her if he didn’t see her. But when they were in the same room, she always pissed him off.

“Is this a sign of Alzheimer’s? I’ve always been like this. Is this your first day of being my father?”

Then, she looked up and was shocked. On the wall were some posters she had made more than a decade ago. She was not sure when her father found them, and he even framed them on the wall.

One of the posters wrote, “Do you think you’re Adonis? Having multiple wives doesn’t make you attractive!”

The other poster wrote, “Better take care of your health now that you’re old. Otherwise, you might die of a stroke.”

Another wrote, “Please show yourself some respect. Thank you.”

This was a wedding gift she gave Winston when he got married for the third time.

The Taylors became a hot topic of discussion because Winston had four wives. Alyssa wasn’t happy with her family’s situation, so she studied abroad and became a doctor with Doctors Without Borders, saving many lives.
